Malaysia Airlines loses contact with plane carrying 239 people
Malaysia Airlines says it has lost contact with a plane with 239 aboard enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The airline said in a statement early Saturday it was attempting to locate the Boeing 777 after it lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control at 2:40 a.m. It was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported the plane was lost in airspace controlled by Vietnam, and did not make contact with Chinese air traffic controllers. The plane is carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members. The airline said it is working with authorities to locate the plane. Boeing said on its Twitter account it is monitoring the situation, and "our thoughts are with everyone on board." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03...ing-23-people/ Malaysian jet probe sharpens focus on passengers, crew as new clues emerge http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03...-indian-ocean/ Last edited by ShowtimeSBMVP; 03-15-2014 at 09:02 AM.. |

See your point. It could happen on a random remote island, but not anything civilized with an airport on it, otherwise radar would of picked them up.

Again, apparently it's also the type of radar. They key to the transponder not the physical signature, and if the transponder goes off, they're blind to it.

Hey, we need to slip in some really sleazy legislation, let's create a terrorism whirlwind so nobody notices. EDIT: We, as a country really, have just become so sensationalistic and emotionally reactive. It gets old. |

And why create a whirlwind if you don't want anyone to notice your legislation?

That is true from a reporting aspect, but most radars would at least report back an unidentified object. It should of be able to give them altitude, direction and speed. They wouldn't have the signature of the plane in that returned radar ping without the transponder working.

Remember a few years ago a distraught Gay Air National Guard pilot broke from formation and flew his A10 out of gas into the Rockies. It was several days before they found the debris and they had a much better idea of the search area. The 777's debris field would be much larger, but the jungle and the size of the search area could keep the crash concealed a while.
* Only mentioned the Gayness because the Gay Lobby wants history text books rewritten to include sexual orientation of historical figures. Just complying with their wishes.
